Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out
Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 months agoYes you are wise. I have a couple gifts ordered from companies who have decided to bombard me with spam, but I need to track the order until it arrives and then I can block them.
I just make judicious use of filters, especially if I don’t know if the company will honor the unsubscribe preference or just use that to confirm my email.
I have a number of emails and strings in filters that are an automatic delete because so many companies fucking spam shit constantly.
You can usually unsubscribe from the marketing emails and still get the tracking notifications if you don’t want to wait
Just to add to this. Having a unsubscribe link in emails is a common way to trick ppl into clicking links, so if you do not know where the email comes from then just block it.

If they give you a standard tracking number just slap it into www.packagetrackr.com and call it a day
